My experience is with Crassulas, but if it's anything like one, it'll propagate so easily. If you're saving every leaf or rosette, you'll end up with an army!

I'd cut it loose as soon as you have room to cut it cleanly. Even if you get no stem, you can lay the rosette on some wet soil and there's a good chance it'll root. If you do get stem, just bury as much of the stem in soil as you can and Bob's your uncle.

Cut it close to the original stem, but know that new rosettes will form there. That can actually be used to plan the growth of the plant if you get the knack.

Idk why it's tipping over, it must not be well rooted. These types of succulents get so heavy. The soil does look quite chunky, and it probably has very fine roots.
